White-Tailed Kite. The larger version shows this much better.

C&C welcome.

Really nice Gaurav! I like that the bird is smaller in the frame, and you have plenty of detail in both large and small version, although the large one is so much nicer to look at! Nice comp showing this bird's environment along with the open sky it rules. Very well done. Sharon

Nice exposure, and I like the light. Good detail in the feathers.
Looks like it was quite windy. The sky turned out very nice also.

I love the glint in that red eye and the perch is stellar. Would love to have an image anywhere near this good of one of these birds.

Nice image, Guarav. Beautiful light and a wonderful perch for this bird.

That's a nice perch! The larger version really shows the detail. Nice light too.
